Pros

Thrilling multinational workplace that fosters diversity of ethnic groups as well as backgrounds and competencies. Offers abundant opportunities to switch careers within the company. Also offers great opportunities for international travel and assignments.

Cons

Ineffective personnel function, including under-staffing and random selection of HR managers leads many employees to frustration. The company's direction of not treating Management as a discipline, but rather as progression from technical careers is hurting the practice as a whole.

Pros

Good people at the local level. The work is engaging and challenging.

Cons

Too many to count. Career advancements are extremely limited. Pay raises are minimal and don't get close to keeping up with inflation even for top performers. At the corporate level they are using acquisitions to hide massive layoffs. They return billions in profit to investors consistently, but there is still a constant threat of layoffs and multiyear freezes on pay raises even with inflation and solid corporate profit.
